Sparrow - tough and reliable 

Bowey - wonderful second half

Brayshaw - some important interceptions 

Rivers - solid and smart

Neal- Bullen - better second half

May - gotta love him

Petracca - not as dominant 

Harmes - some useful involvement 

Dunstan - important tagging success

Petty - tight and reliable 

Jordan - a quiet achiever

Fritsch - ten minute game

Spargo - possessions were important

A few errant handballs cost goals,  #44 wasn’t home alone there. Numero uno coughed up one too. The Goodwin mantra of not dwelling on mistakes applies. Reset and push go.

Gawn - effective

Oliver - GOAT

Langdon - continued his dominance

Sparrow - amazing. Just amazing

Bowey - no surprise, experienced 200 gamer

Brayshaw - one of his best games this year,

proper player.

Rivers - on the up.

Neal Bullen - Sh*t when mattered. Really really poor game.

May - no words really, heading into his own category as a back man. Heading into GOAT territory.

Petracca - Shocking effort. 

Harmes -typical Harmes. Loves the heat and fades out once the jobs done. Pressure and checks out once games over. Barometer 

Dunstan - Got better. I’d persist with him because he failed to handle the pressure that comes with being a Dee, but adapted, pretty rare to see that within the space of 2 quarters. This guy will improve us. But needs to be better than tonight. Needs to be shown tapes of Toby Bedford and bring that to every contest.

Petty - Most promising back in league. Underrated. Good early when mattered.

Jordan - OK. 

Fritsch - always good. 
 

Spargo - Good.

Hunt - below average when it mattered.

Jackson - See Petracca

Brown - see Jackson

Weideman - perfect. Love the intent. Stats smatts. Great game. Keep doing what you’re doing. So confident in this kid. My type of guy.

Pickett - see above. Cannot speak any higher. Really had a crack early when blokes were 100 at contests. 
 

Smith - needs to clean up things a bit but obvious an improving player. See why Gawn likes him, Smith clunks marks under pressure and drops them when not, I can live with that.

Langdon: Prolific like usual.
Weideman: A quiet 3
Sparrow: Showed unappreciated speed
Oliver: 3 Brownlow votes
Petty: Becoming AA worthy
Joel Smith: WTF was that?
Luke Jackson: Quiet game forgiven
J.Jordon: Vanilla 19 touches
ANB: 2 costly misses (1 inexcusable)
S.May: Fantastic without lever 
A.Brayshaw: Doing his thang!
Dunstan: kept it simple
Harmes: An annoying miss (on the full)
Fritsch: 2 needed goals
Rivers: Finding his groove
J.Hunt: Kept Shai quiet.
Ben Brown: Was impressively unimpressive. (will get better though).
Petracca: important when needed (needs to sharpen up his kicking for goal though)

Petty, Bowey, Jordon, Sparrow, Rivers, Pickett and Jackson are all young players who have shown that they are close to best 22 in a premiership team. Too early for AA but they all show potential.

And to think that they have many years to learn from playing with Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, May, Lever, Brayshaw, Langdon Spargo, ANB, Hunt and Harmes, experienced premiership players, who all still have many years to go. Add in Weideman and Smith who might still make it to the top.

I cannot recall any other recent team that had so much potential to develop further. But let's keep it to one game at a time.

Can someone tell me why people boo Weideman? I know they're not booing, instead saying 'Weeeed' or something like that? is that right? I just don't really understand it. 'Weeed' sounds nothing like a 'boo'..? I'm confused lol. 
Also the fact that a guy that spends more time with Casey, it's a strange thing that I've never really understood and warmed to. I feel like it's a little cringe. :) Have I missed something?

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    VOTES: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Last week Captain Max Gawn consolidated his lead over reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Alex Neal-Bullen & Jake Lever make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Blues. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
